man enduring whiplash


A rear-end car accident is the number one cause of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when someone hits your car from behind, and your head snaps forward, then backward very quickly. This type of motion can cause damage to your neck, shoulders, and back. If you have been in a car accident, don't hesitate to visit us at Dunn Chiropractic in Akron, OH. Our chiropractor has techniques and treatments to help with whiplash issues, even if you aren't currently feeling any pain.

Whiplash and Your Body

Symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Numbness, weakness, or tingling in your arms
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Memory problems
  • Depression
  • Blurred vision
  • Ringing in the ears

After your accident, you may notice one or several of these symptoms. Sometimes, whiplash injuries do not show up for several days after the accident. Things you do day-to-day can also exasperate any injury you suffered.

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash 

After you are in a car accident, immediately call our office. During your first visit, our chiropractor will talk to you about the accident and what, if any, pain you are experiencing. It is also important that we know your overall health, work habits, and lifestyle to get a complete holistic view of your health. We may order x-rays or a CT scan to look for damage. Our chiropractor will use this information to create a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. It may include gentle adjustments and realignments, massage therapy, and heat or cold therapy. There will also be corrective exercises that you can do at home to help keep you well.
